      I'm guessing Glenn licked more than his fair share of dirt bike gears as a kid . . . it would explain a lot.

      Beck is simply making this up, like his "FEMA concentration camps."

      What in hell does Glenn Beck no about natural selection?  Does he even believe in evolution?

      Becky, what if your kid is licking another kid of the same sex?   Will you send them off to re-education camps?

      I actually agree with Beck here. Even as a lawyer myself, I think we have went overboard on child safety I am not talking about the necessary warning for attractive nuisance but rather the obvious warning like, "warning: knife is very sharp" or "do not place hands in moving lawnmower".

        well...they were put there because there are enough people in the world who DO do those things.

        Its even the reason why on a tube of preparation H ointment its says "DO NOT TAKE ORALLY"

          I could think of a few media personalities that might be able to use Preparation H "orally" and still be following the instructions.

        Well, as a life long motorcycle owner, I have to admit that this new law or ruling or whatever it is they are trying to pass is indeed ridiculous.  Having a dirtbikr growing up prevented me from getting in a lot of other trouble.  It would be ashame to take away such a great pasttime from our youth.

        Glenn Beck joined FOX News Channel (FNC) in 2008. He hosts "Glenn Beck," Monday through Friday from 5-6 p.m. ET. Beck's signature program breaks down and examines various stories and topics through the lens of his unique libertarian perspective.

        Beck also hosts a nationally syndicated radio show ("The Glenn Beck Program") which is heard in over 300 cities and is one of the highest-rated national talk shows among adults ages 25 to 54. In 2008, Beck won the Marconi Radio Award for Network Syndicated Radio Personality of the Year.

        Gee, with a bio like that, I actually thought he was a serious fact finding reporter...

          Are there really any true "journalists" or "reporters" left Snoopy? Really, on the left or the right. Are any of them truly non-partisan? Maybe on the Weather Channel?

            Call me a fool, but in spite of Paul Harvey's past in regards to nixon, I thought the Paul Harvey Report was very middle of the road which made him believable. As for today? Sure, I'll agree that I don't trust anyone anymore. The worst part of that is I really believe Murdoch had more to do with that than any other person. He's the modern day Randolph Hearst.
